Despite Betty White's uber-successful stint on Saturday Night Live - which brought in over 12.1 million viewers - and a Facebook campaign that already has 56,000 supporters, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences claim that they're not letting anyone tell them who should be next year's host for the Academy Awards!

Spokeswoman Leslie Unger was a giant buzzkill when she announced that instead of letting the people, who actually tune in and are responsible for ratings, decide, they are going to stand by their formal protocol and allow the show's producers to select next year's Oscar host!

We suggest that if fans are as serious as we think they are about the Baddest Bitch getting the gig, they should BOYCOTT the ceremony!!

Shane Redway -- a Canadian rapper and close friend of Drake's -- was killed early Saturday morning in a car crash. He was just 26 years old.

Redway and two others were killed when their car lost control, struck a guardrail and burst into flames. The crash occurred around 4am outside Pearson International Airport in Toronto. It's unclear who was behind the wheel. Police are investigating the crash.

Drake took to Instagram to remember Redway, posting two different tributes.
